Coming, going: Player-by-player look at Heat offseason

Contract status of those who finished last season with Miami Heat and those since added.

An updated look at the status of those on the Heat training-camp roster, those who left in the offseason, and those from last season's roster who remained unsigned:

* * *

ON CURRENT ROSTER

Chris Andersen

Age: Turned 36 on July 7.

2013-14 salary: $1.4 million.

2014-15 salary status: $5 million.

What's next: He's back. While there was a thought Andersen would chase a longer contract, perhaps with a team closer to title contention, the past two years opened Birdman's eyes to the possibilities of the Heat and South Florida. He again sets up as the perfect energy off the bench in the power rotation, making it possible that Udonis Haslem again remains in a limited role. This time he finally got to cash in, through his Early Bird rights.

Khem Birch

Age: Turns 22 on Sept. 28.

2013-14 salary: Junior at UNLV.

2014-15 salary status: $507,336.

What's next: The undrafted center out of UNLV had a solid summer-league showing with the Wizards but was squeezed out by Washington's glut of big men. A rebounder and shot-blocker, Birch could set up as a Joel Anthony type, with Birch a Canadian like Anthony. Birch will be facing long odds, with Chris Bosh, Josh McRoberts, Chris Andersen and Udonis Haslem locks for the final roster, and Justin Hamilton and Shawne Williams also vying for spots in the power rotation.

Chris Bosh

Age: Turns 31 on March 24.

2013-14 salary: $19 million.

2014-15 salary status: $20.6 million.

What's next: Even with LeBron James leaving, Bosh decided he would rather fight than move on. The result could be far more of a leading role than when James was the focus. Now, more than ever, the Heat need the type of numbers Bosh produced while with the Raptors.

Shannon Brown

Age: Turns 29 on Nov. 29.

2013-14 salary: $1.2 million.

2014-15 salary status: $1.3 million.

What's next: With limited veteran depth behind Dwyane Wade, Brown arrives to compete for minutes at shooting guard with Reggie Williams, although Mario Chalmers also could claim some of those minutes. Brown also could serve as a defensive stopper at point guard. Brown arrives as low-cost insurance in case some of the kids, like Tyler Johnson and James Ennis, don't immediately pan out.

Mario Chalmers

Age: Turns 29 on May 19.

2013-14 salary: $4 million.

2014-15 salary status: $4 million.

What's next: For the first time since the Heat added LeBron James, the Heat will get the opportunity to see what Mario Chalmers can do as a playmaker, in addition to his previous role as a spot-up shooter. While Chalmers' athleticism has been mostly dormant, he showed enough at times to possibly re-emerge as more than an afterthought in the Heat's approach. On-ball defense remains a concern, but he still has the ability to force turnovers and get the Heat out in transition.

Norris Cole

Age: Turns 26 on Oct. 13.

2013-14 salary: $1.1 million.

2014-15 salary status: $2 million.

What's next: With a youth movement likely to follow, Cole could get an opportunity to show if there is more there than simply playing as a spark off the bench. Thrown into the championship fire from his arrival, Cole may now be allowed to sustain the growth needed to possibly emerge as a starter.

Andre Dawkins

Age: Turned 23 on Sept. 19.

2013-14 salary: Senior at Duke.

2014-15 salary status: $507,336.

What's next: The undrafted guard out of Duke had his moments with the Heat's summer-league team, especially with his 3-point shooting. He will enter camp as one of several prospects vying for a possible spot at the end of the guard rotation, along with fellow undrafted rookie Tyler Johnson and veteran NBA guard Shannon Brown, who does not have a guaranteed contract. Dawkins shot 12 of 30 on 3-pointers for the Heat during the Orlando summer league, fourth on the team in scoring average in Orlando behind only James Ennis, Justin Hamilton and Johnson, at 12.3 points per game. He then appeared in eight games at the Las Vegas summer league with the Houston Rockets, shooting 14 of 45 on 3-pointers.

Luol Deng

Age: Turns 30 on April 16.

2013-14 salary: $14.3 million.

2014-15 salary status: $9.7 million.

What's next: Expected to emerge as LeBron James' replacement at small forward. While no player can match James' versatility, Deng provides quality perimeter defense and a solid mid-range offensive game, having proven his playoff savvy while with the Chicago Bulls. Considering the Heat's circumstances, the right free-agent pickup at the right time.

James Ennis

Age: Turns 25 on July 1.

2013-14 salary: Played in Australia, Puerto Rico

2014-15 salary status: $507,336.

What's next: The type of athletic prospect the Heat have lacked in recent years, someone who should benefit from the Heat's need to start a development program. He's intriguing and by going overseas last season he did the Heat enough of a favor to likely merit a roster spot and an NBA salary this coming season.

Danny Granger

Age: Turns 32 on April 20.

2013-14 salary: $14 million.

2014-15 salary status: $2.1 million.

What's next: Brought in at bi-annual-exception money as insurance for Dwyane Wade's knee issues and the Heat's lack of scoring-minded perimeter depth at the time of his signing, Granger now is sort of stuck in the wake of LeBron James' departure. Granger holds an option for the second season of his contract, so this could be a one-and-done if Granger regains the form he had in Indiana before a recent series of injuries. Granger figures to either be a bargain or a bust, with little likelihood of something in between. If he's right, he could help . . . a lot.

Justin Hamilton

Age: Turns 25 on April 1.

2013-14 salary: $98,000.

2014-15 salary status: $816,000.

What's next: Hamilton finally got to show his all-around game in summer league, with an injury limiting the outside-shooting center's exposure with the team last summer. Now the question is whether the Heat pick up his remaining guarantees, with half of his salary having been guaranteed on July 1.

Udonis Haslem

Age: Turned 34 on June 9.

2013-14 salary: $4.3 million.

2014-15 salary status: $2.7 million.

What's next: Haslem opted out when there was the need to try to build around LeBron James with cap space. With James off to Cleveland, the result for Haslem is a two-year deal that gets Haslem back the money he bypassed with his opt-out, as well as another season for an additional $1 million. Haslem's muscle again could come into play, with the Heat otherwise undersized in the power rotation.

Chris Johnson

Age: Turns 30 on July 17

2013-14 salary: Played in China.

2014-15 salary status: $848,163.

What's next: Another big body for camp who previously has played for the Trail Blazers, Celtics, Pelicans and Timberwolves. It could come down to whether the Heat opt for the outside shooting of Justin Hamilton or something a bit more polished, with Johnson having played in a variety of pro leagues, domestic and overseas, since 2009. His most extensive NBA exposure was 30 games with Minnesota in 2012-13. Like Hamilton, he is a product of LSU.

Tyler Johnson

Age: Turns 23 on May 7

2013-14 salary: Senior at Fresno State.

2014-15 salary status: $507,336.

What's next: A bit undersized for an NBA shooting guard despite being listed at 6 feet 4. But he does possess intriguing athleticism, as evidenced by his summer-league play, and could benefit from Heat's lack of options at shooting guard behind Dwyane Wade. Also a candidate for D-League seasoning with the Heat's new Sioux Falls Skyforce staff.

Shawn Jones

Age: Turns 23 on March 25.

2013-14 salary: Senior at Middle Tennessee State.

2014-15 salary status: $507,336.

What's next: A training-camp longshot, Jones thrived locally at Hialeah High, and then had his moments after his career at Middle Tennessee State with his performances at the Portsmouth Invitational and then with the Los Angeles Clippers at the Las Vegas summer league. Among the longest longshots on the camp roster.

Josh McRoberts

Age: Turns 28 on Feb. 28.

2013-14 salary: $2.7 million.

2014-15 salary status: $5.3 million.

What's next: McRoberts was brought in at mid-level money to play as a hybrid power forward, able to stretch the floor as a 3-point shooter and facilitate as a playmaker with his passing. Coming off a career year with Charlotte, he sets up mostly as a complementary piece, with more to offer on offense than defense, and not necessarily an answer to the Heat's rebounding or rim-protection issues. But he could fit nicely alongside Bosh in the starting lineup.

Shabazz Napier

Age: Turned 23 on July 14.

2013-14 salary: Senior at Connecticut.

2014-15 salary status: $1.2 million.

What's next: While not necessarily a building block, Napier sets up as an option for time at the point, with a mature game that should work in an NBA system. While the results were uneven, his summer-league efforts showed a player willing to learn and grow.

Dwyane Wade

Age: Turns 33 on Jan. 17.

2013-14 salary: $18.7 million.

2014-15 salary status: $15 million.

What's next: The question now is whether Wade is ready to do it alone on the perimeter, as a stand-alone star. LeBron James' departure changes everything. He survived and thrived after the post-Shaquille O'Neal rebuild. Does he have it in him to last through another Heat makeover?

Reggie Williams

Age: Turns 28 on Sept. 28.

2013-14 salary: Ended season in Philippines.

2014-15 salary status: $1.1 million.

What's next: Williams long has enticed as a scorer, but has had trouble sticking because of the erratic nature with the rest of his game. Considering the Heat have precious little offense at shooting guard behind Dwyane Wade, Williams could contend not only for a roster spot, but also for playing time.

Shawne Williams

Age: Turns 29 on Feb. 16.

2013-14 salary: Ended season in D-League.

2014-15 salary status: $1.2 million.

What's next: Williams had a brief look with the Lakers last season before closing in the D-League. He sets up as another potential stretch four should he make it through training camp. He has shown promise over the years, but issues have prevented him from sticking anywhere long term.

SIGNED ELSEWHERE

Michael Beasley

Age: Turns 26 on Jan. 9.

2013-14 salary: $1 million.

2014-15 salary status: Signed with Grizzlies.

What's next: Having already issued Beasley's No. 8 to rookie Tyler Johnson, the Heat moved away early on from yet another reunion with their No. 2 overall pick in the 2008 NBA Draft, well before he signed a non-guaranteed free-agent deal with the Grizzlies. The signing of Shawne Williams essentially was the end of Beasley's second Heat tenure.

Toney Douglas

Age: Turns 29 on March 16.

2013-14 salary: $1.6 million.

2014-15 salary status: Signed to play in China.

What's next: With the Heat adding Shabazz Napier in the first round of the NBA Draft and then re-signing Mario Chalmers, Douglas got caught in a numbers game at point guard, with Norris Cole also returning. Douglas for the most part was a rental player over the second half of the season, although his defensive pressure could be missed.

LeBron James

Age: Turns 30 on Dec. 30.

2013-14 salary: $19 million.

2014-15 salary status: Signed with Cleveland Cavaliers.

What's next: Will face the Heat for the first time in five years as an opponent on Christmas Day at AmericanAirlines Arena.

James Jones

Age: Turns 34 on Oct. 4.

2013-14 salary: $1.5 million.

2014-15 salary status: Signed with Cavaliers.

What's next: Ultimately, the lure of continuing to play alongside LeBron James proved stronger than hometown ties. Recall, it was James who often implored coach Erik Spoelstra to play Jones more often in recent seasons.

STILL UNSIGNED

* * *

Ray Allen

Age: Turned 39 on July 20.

2013-14 salary: $3.2 million.

2014-15 salary status: Free agent.

What's next: Allen played as a young 38, among the most reliable Heat players off the bench this past season. But with LeBron James gone, it is far likelier he either joins James in Cleveland or calls it a career. Allen made it clear this past season that playing as a teammate with LeBron meant more than the location.

Shane Battier

Age: Turned 36 on Sept. 9.

2013-14 salary: $3.3 million.

2014-15 salary status: Free agent.

What's next: He has retired and moved to ESPN as a college basketball analyst, perhaps sensing what was to follow with the Heat.

Rashard Lewis

Age: Turned 35 on Aug. 8.

2013-14 salary: $1.4 million.

2014-15 salary status: Signed for veteran minimum as free agent with Dallas Mavericks, with contract voided when he failed his physical due to knee issue, again making him a free agent.

What's next: Lewis had his moments last season with the Heat, especially late last season, but his knee issue now puts his future in jeopardy.

Greg Oden

Age: Turns 27 on Jan. 22.

2013-14 salary: $1 million.

2014-15 salary status: Free agent.

What's next: He wants playing time; the question is whether there can be any guarantees. The Heat had multiple opportunities over the second half of the season to expand Oden's role, but elected otherwise, including making him inactive for Game 5 of the Finals. That says plenty. His latest legal troubles make a return anywhere in the NBA doubtful.
